I have been invited to a number of book clubs recently, and I am really enjoying the discussions. If you have friends or family who are reading White Tombs and would like me to attend a book club discussion, please have them contact me at cjvalen@comcast.net. We can also do a "call in" if you have a speaker phone.

I will be signing books at the Barnes and Noble Bookstore in Maplewood, MN this Saturday, May 10th, from 12:00-2:00, as part of a fundraiser for Vadnais Heights Elementary School. I was once a principal at Vadnais Heights and know that it is a great school. Please stop by and help support the staff and students.

On Saturday, May 24th, I will be at the Lake Country Bookstore in White Bear Lake, MN from 10:00-12:00, and on Tuesday, June 3rd, I will be signing books and discussing White Tombs with the mystery book club at the Barnes and Noble Bookstore in the Har Mar Mall at 7:00 p.m. The event is open to the public.

On Tuesday, May 27th, at 9:00 CST, I will be interviewed on Blog Talk radio. You can listen to the live broadcast by going to www.ewenprime.com.

Check my website for more information on these and other upcoming events and appearances.

I've been running a contest on my website. Just click on the Contest link on my Home Page and answer the question correctly. I'll send you a free, signed copy of White Tombs. I've had 3 winners so far. I'm giving away 2 more books, so check out the question soon.

Just a reminder that I also write a weekly blog on the social, economic and political consequences of crime and injustice. My blog is entitled Probable Cause and you can find it via a link on my website Home Page or by typing www.christophervalen.com/blog.

Thank you once again for your terrific support. I've received so many positive comments about White Tombs, and it has truly inspired me as I write the second book.

Many of you have asked about Natalia, Santana's sister. Is she in the second book? Will Santana find her? You'll have to read it to find out:)

Sincerely,Christopher Valen
